You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner in Delhi. They can investigate your non-payment complaint and initiate proceedings against your company for non-payment of salary. You can also explore legal options, including filing a civil suit for recovery of your salary and damages for breach of contract.

My friend works on a government contract and applied for a new government job. He marked “no” for the “in-service” question on the application since his current office wouldn’t give him a No Objection Certificate (NOC). If he gets selected, he plans to resign from his current job and join the new one. Could there be any issues with this? He doesn’t want to lose any benefits from his current job.

I was unfairly dismissed by REC in 1992 based on an incomplete investigation. They didn’t reveal that my travel allowance claim was never even processed, a fact they only admitted in 2014. This claim was the main reason for my dismissal, forming the basis of three out of six charges, which also included some old, baseless accusations. Since 2014, I’ve been trying to reopen the case but haven’t been successful. Can I approach the courts again, given this new information? Previously, I fought the case in court but lost, unaware of the non-processing of my travel allowance claim.

I’ve been working at a private company for the past four years. For the last year, I haven’t received my salary or other wages. Everything was fine when I joined, and I even got a 10% raise in April 2013 for my good performance. But after 2014, the company started facing financial problems, and our salaries were delayed by two to three months. In April 2015, things seemed to get back on track, and we received all our pending payments. The company started functioning normally again. However, financial issues resurfaced in July 2015, and salary delays started once more. The last salary I received was in August 2015. Since then, I haven’t been paid. Is there a government authority (like a labor or employee helpline) I can contact for help? Or do I need to take legal action?

Working as a Commercial Artist since 1989 under the SRO 1972 rules, I’ve seen three pay commissions come and go, but my career path remains stagnant. The government mandates a cadre restructuring after every pay commission or every five years, yet this hasn’t happened. My department acknowledges the financial hardship this causes due to limited promotion opportunities. If this outdated structure is the problem, why should I bear the brunt of this financial loss?

I work in a Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) with a basic salary of ₹45,000. I recently got selected as an Executive Engineer (EE) in a Maharashtra State Autonomous Body through a direct recruitment exam. The exam was online, and I submitted the necessary NOC from my current employer during document verification. My new pay scale is ₹16,000-40,000 with a grade pay of ₹6,600. Will my current salary be protected when I switch to this new position?
